Introducing the Polyrex-headings gem

Tired of writing raw Polyrex documents in an indented format, I wrote this gem to make lists with headings more readable yet still be represented as a Polyrex document.

require 'polyrex-headings'

s=<<S
<?ph schema="entries[title,tags]/entry[title]/tasks[title]"?>
title: Daily tasks outline grouped by morning, afternoon, and evening
tags: daily tasks gtd outline 10nov2012

morning
-------
Pump of front tyre
Go for a walk

afternoon
---------

Take a 20 min break
Reply to email

evening
-------

S

polyrex = PolyrexHeadings.new(s).to_polyrex
puts polyrex.to_xml pretty: true

output:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
